Yesterday, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani assured us of the situation of the 14 Italians in Gaza who live outside the red line. But according to the story of the non-profit organization in Resto del Carlino by Giuditta Brattini, 65, a Veronese helper for Gazzella Onlus, the situation in the south of the Strip, in Rafah, is not the best. “They are also bombing here around Rafah. Let’s hope they don’t decide to attack this UNWRA headquarters too. “We are always here in the camp, locked in a garage that they won’t let us out of,” she wrote to her colleagues two days ago. “Friday was the last time we could hear it, a two-minute communication where we could hear the bombing in the background.” They have had no connection since yesterday morning and, as he told us, they will probably soon be without water. They are stuck in Rafah but we have no further news about their situation,” they explain from Gazzella Onlus.
Communication with compatriots in the Gaza Strip is not good. “Our priority – assured the Deputy Prime Minister yesterday – is to bring all 14 home. Our consulate in Cairo is talking to the Americans, the Egyptians and the Israelis to see what can be done to bring them back if a decision is made to allow non-Palestinians to leave the Rafah crossing. We don’t know what the times are like. It is being discussed, but her release is not expected to be imminent.”
